SAVED MY MOTHERS LIFE.

Ever since / can remember, my mother has
suffered from II milk leg. Nothing would do
her any good. She had the best medical tai
emit but they all did her no good. She suffered
with her leg for thirty years and never knew a
well day. She would have to set up half the
night, holding up her leg and moaning. She
had no peace She used all the best known
remedies in the country without effect. ]
asked her to try your CUTICURA REMEDIES
Got her bottle of CUTICURA RFSOLVENT, and
she took it, and has taken IN all about six or
seven bottles, and now she is well woman
to day. Her leg is entirely healed, and her
health was never better. She can go out every
day, something she has not done in ten years,
so you see cannot help stating to you about
your wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES. You
have saved my mothers life. | cannot ind
words to express my graf tude. | have adj
vcrtscd your CUTICURA REMEDIES far and
near.

IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.


The immigration convention, called
to meet at Dallas one week from today,
seems to have attracted very little at
tention In southern Texas. Northern
and eastern Texas have taken consid-
cradle stock In the matter. The Dallas.
Fort Worth and Waco journals are TAX
ing an active l. terest In calling atten-
ton to the objects OF the convention.
and 10 stirring up localities, boards Of
trade, alliances and municipalities 10
send delegates, that all sections OF the
state may be thoroughly represented.
Waco has organized what is very sp-
propristely named, IAN immigration
Association" and has sent out a cirou-
lar letter asking the attendance and CO.
operation OF the several sections Of the
state In the matter. There Is no inten-
tiou Of leaving south Texas out in the
cold and only herself will be to blame If
she 10 not fully represented. the fol-
lowing, among other documents, bear
Ing upon this subject, has reached
this office. This one 10 from the score
tary OF the Waco Immigration associa-
ton:
1--WE have sent letters to the mayors OF
cities and county judges in South Texas, re-
Questing them to participate in the imu igra.
ton move lent in North Texas II is to our in.
terest TO have South Texas as fully repre-.
scented as possible at the Dallas Immigrant on
Convention, and we want headquarters of
the state organization located as far south as
possible We hope you will come TO Dallas 10
represent your county, and organize your
people to get the benefits of it as much as
possible -
No more important movement than
this has been made In the state, not
withdrawing some OF the old fogies see
no need for an increase OF immigration
into o n borders. This Dallas convention
IL IN the direct line OF the ostensible and
Rvowed efforts OF our Local Improve
ment Committee and cOHlmends itself
directly to their consideration and
prompt action. The discrimination in
favor OF Kansas, Colorado and Califor.
mia tourists and settlers, made by the
railway companies, have diverted the
stream Of travel into those states to the
exclusion OF Texas. Some sys.
tematic and united effort must be
made by this state to ooun.
tersct this influence working so directly
against our interests, and this cOnven.
tion is called for that purpose. San An.
tonic owes 1t to herself and to south
west Texas and to the vast interests
which are at stake not to permit this
matter to go by default. She should be
largely and worthily represented In thai
convention and the Local Improvement
Committee OF thirty is the body Of all
others 10 this city to whom this matter
naturally falls. Texas must either join
the procession OF sit upon the fence and
see the procession go by. The LIGHT
urgently calls attention to the coming
convention; cordially commends Its pur-
pore as praise worthy and destined, II
successfully carried out, to result bene-
ficislly to the state; and, specially
presses home upon the attention OF the
citizens commi tee Of this city the need
Of taking prompt action, In order that
